Opinion: Investment in primary sector research and development will assist in maintaining our "slice of heaven", Dr Jacqueline Rowarth writes.

What has been described as the translation of a Chinese curse is, in fact, a western and modern invention.
Probably the same is true of "May all your children be daughters". And in the same way that most people have come to accept that girls are as good as boys, and for different reasons, we also accept that if times aren't interesting, we're bored.
